Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Labours of Thomas Brassey: 1805-1870 I feel it to be right to acknowledge in detail the great assistance I have received in writing this work. It would he difficult for me to name all the persons from whom I have derived this assistance; hut I must mention some of those who have been my principal coadjutors; namely, Mr. Thomas Brassey, Mr. Ballard, Mr. Bidder, Dr. Burnett, Mr. Day, Mr. Dent, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Evans, Mr. Fowler, Mr. Netlam Giles, Mr, Hancox, Mr. Henry Harrison, Mr. Hawkshaw, Mr. Henfrey, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Holme, Mr. Charles Jones, Mr. Longridge, Mr. Louth, Mr. Mackay, Lieut.-Col. Charles Manby, Mr. Milroy, Mr. Frederic Murton, Mr. Ogilvie, Sir Morton Peto, Bart., Mr. Ray, Mr. Ehodes, Mr. Ricketts, Rev. H. Robinson, Mr. Rowan, Mr. Strapp, Mr. Tapp, Mr. Trubshaw, Mr. Wagstaff, Mr. Wilcox, and Mr. Woolcott. The object of this work is not merely to narrate the life and labours of Mr. Brassey; but it aims, also, to show forth the labours of others, which that life elicited. The life of many an eminent man, especially if his eminence has consisted in doing one kind of work very well, does not admit of much interest in the narrative itself, and might be very briefly told. It is a melancholy fact, but fact it is, that great conquerors are mainly the persons whose lives are most interesting, such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Cortes, and Napoleon. On the contrary, the lives that have been most serviceable to mankind, as well as the histories of the most peaceful and therefore happiest periods of the lives of nations, give little scope for exciting narrative.

Excerpt: ...before the reader; and that is, because it bears closely upon the great subject of Emigration--a subject which must have the deepest interest for all thoughtful men in this overpopulated country, which will yet have to consider the whole question of Emigration, with far more care than it has hitherto bestowed. Before entering into the details which have been furnished to me of the construction of these Australian railways, I would remark, that the evidence which we get about Emigration in this indirect manner from persons who have gone to Australia, with a purpose entirely foreign to the general subject of Emigration, is likely to be most valuable evidence. It will be full of knowledge, and yet it is not probable that it will be based upon any pre-conceived opinions regarding Emigration, or that it will have any personal bias regarding the interests of emigrants. I feel that I am not deviating improperly from the main subject of this work in following out these indirect consequences of the late Mr. Brassey's labours. Nothing, I am confident, would have more delighted that good man, than to find that his work, in distant countries, had directly promoted the welfare of the native people amongst whom that work was accomplished, and that it had developed special information indirectly bearing upon the future welfare of his countrymen. I now proceed to give the result of the evidence of one of the principal persons employed by Mr. Brassey in the construction of Australian railways. This gentleman's name is Mr. Samuel Wilcox. Before going to Australia, as one of Mr. Brassey's agents, he had been employed under Mr. Ballard on the Great Northern line, and also in Holland, on the line between Utrecht and Rotterdam. He had also been employed in the...
